We enjoyed all of the Missions in San Antonio. Highly Reccomended. more

I was really looking forward to attending the Mariachi Mass on Sunday here (12 noon only) Fist, the taxi-cab ride was 35.00 dollars just to get there from the Westin Riverwalk. We were there in the beginning of May 2009....right when the Swine Flu was starting to transmit rapidly, with Texas being # 2 in confirmed cases. My wife is... more

Very well done. Gave us a sense of what the Alamo may have looked like if all the walls were still standing. Had a hard time understanding the Sunday Church service as we aren't catholic but the musicans did a wonderful job and even came out the back of the church and performed some music after the Noon service!!!

The Sunday Mariachi Mass is a must. It does not matter what your Faith is. This is wonderful experience and the music is beautiful. What impressed me the most was the dedication people have to their Faith and their desire to do good in this world. more

We caught a city bus (#42) out to Mission San Jose (only cost $1, took under 30 minutes) which meant that we could spend as long as we wanted poking around. A Ranger tour was starting just when we arrived, which was a great way to learn about what we were seeing. Anywhere that has National Park Rangers almost guarantees... more

I asked my hotel for the best way to get to Mission San Jose, and then go to El Mercado. The front desk gave me a flyer from "San Antonio Trolley Tours". I contacted them and they picked me up at my hotel and drove me first to the Alamo and left me there for 20 minutes (about all the... more

We took the On & Off Trolley to Mission San Jose. Beautiful! The history is so interesting. A park ranger will take you on a free tour that lasts about an hour. If you're lucky enough to visit on a Sunday you can attend a mass in the church. more

We rented a car and drove to all the missions. Did them all in one day. Great trip. Mission San Jose has a visitor center. We choose to walk around by ourselves because with the tour it just took way too long. They have lots of school groups and explain to them in detail every little thing. It is real... more

I took the local bus ($1.00) out to see the mission. Fantastic. It's a large site and they restored it well. Lots of informative signage and the tourist center is really set up nicely too. Blew the Alamo away! The gift shop had a lot of nice books on the old missions too. It's definately a must see while in... more
